About This Item
ASTM E1337 is the ASTM standard for determining the longitudinal peak braking coefficient (PBC) of paved surfaces using a standard reference test tire. It provides a consistent way to evaluate how a paved surface performs under braking conditions, helping users compare measurements more reliably. As a technical document, it supports surface assessment for applications where braking traction and repeatable testing matter.
Purpose of ASTM E1337
The purpose of ASTM E1337 is to define a standardized test method for measuring the longitudinal peak braking coefficient of paved surfaces with a standard reference tire. By using a common test tire and a repeatable approach, the standard helps reduce variation between evaluations. This makes the results more useful for comparing paved surface conditions, tracking performance over time, and supporting engineering or maintenance decisions based on braking-related surface behavior.
Common use cases of ASTM E1337
This standard is commonly used when paved surfaces need to be evaluated for braking performance in a controlled and repeatable way. It may support pavement testing, surface condition assessment, and quality control activities where traction-related data is needed. ASTM E1337 can also be useful in procurement or acceptance workflows when a project calls for documented braking coefficient measurements using a standard reference tire.
Why ASTM E1337 matters
ASTM E1337 matters because consistent braking measurements help improve technical confidence in paved surface evaluation. Using a recognized ASTM standard can support compliance efforts, reduce ambiguity in test results, and make comparisons more dependable across locations or projects. For owners, engineers, and testing organizations, it can also aid product evaluation, surface acceptance, and risk reduction by providing a clearer basis for discussing braking-related performance.
